Exodus 15
1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for he is supreme! He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.
Moyize mpe bana ya Isalaele bayembaki loyembo oyo mpo na lokumu ya Yawe: Nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Yawe, mpo ete amonisi monene ya nkembo na Ye! Azindisi mpunda mpe motambolisi na yango kati na ebale monene.
2 The Lord gives me strength. He is the theme of my song. He saves me. He is my God, and I will praise him. He is my father's God, and I will honor him.
Yawe azali makasi na ngai, azali solo loyembo na ngai, azali mobikisi na ngai, azali Nzambe na ngai, nakokumisa Ye; azali Nzambe ya tata na ngai, nakonetola Ye.
3 The Lord is like a warrior. His name is the Lord.
Yawe azali elombe ya bitumba; Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe.
4 He threw Pharaoh's chariots and his army into the sea. Pharaoh's best officers were drowned in the Red Sea.
Azindisi na ebale monene, bashar mpe mampinga ya Faraon; abwaki na ebale monene ya barozo, bakonzi mpe basoda oyo Faraon atielaka motema.
5 The flooding water covered them. They dropped down into the depths like a stone.
Mozindo ya mayi ezipi bango, bakiti kino na se ya ebale monene lokola libanga.
6 Your power, Lord, is truly amazing! Your power, Lord, crushed the enemy.
Loboko na Yo ya mobali, oh Yawe, emonisi nguya na Yo; loboko na Yo ya mobali, oh Yawe, enyati monguna.
7 By your majestic power you destroyed those who opposed you. Your anger blazed out and burned them up like stubble.
Na monene ya nguya na Yo, obebisi batelemeli na Yo; na kanda na Yo, otombokeli bango, mpe baziki lokola matiti.
8 You blew and the sea piled up. The waves stood straight like a wall. The depths of the ocean turned solid.
Na pema ya zolo na Yo, mayi ekabwani, bambonge etelemi lokola mir, mpe mozindo ya mayi ekangami kati na ebale monene.
9 The enemy bragged, ‘I will chase them and catch up with them. I will divide the plunder. I will eat them alive. I will swing my sword. By my hand I will destroy them.’
Monguna amilobelaki: « Nakolanda bango kino nakokanga bango, molimo na ngai ekotonda na biloko oyo nakobotola; nakobimisa mopanga na ngai, mpe loboko na ngai ekobebisa bango. »
10 But you blew with your breath and the sea swept over them. They sank down like lead in the swirling waters.
Kasi Yo, Yawe, ofuli mopepe na Yo, mpe ebale monene ezipi bango. Bazindi lokola mbodi kati na mayi makasi.
11 Who is like you among the gods, Lord? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, awesome in wonder, doing miracles?
Oh Yawe, nani kati na banzambe azali lokola Yo? Nani azali lokola Yo, kitoko makasi kati na bosantu, somo, mpe abongi na lokumu, mpe asalaka makambo ya kokamwa?
12 You acted, and the earth swallowed the Egyptians.
Osembolaki loboko na Yo ya mobali, mpe mabele emeli bango.
13 You led the people you saved with your trustworthy love. You will guide them in your strength to your holy home.
Na bolingo na Yo, otambolisi bato oyo okangoli. Na makasi na Yo, omemi bango na Ndako na Yo ya bule.
14 The nations will hear what has happened and will shake with fear. The people who live in Philistia will experience agonizing distress.
Bikolo eyoki sango na yango mpe ekomi kolenga, somo ekangaki bato ya Filisitia.
15 The Edomite chiefs will be terrified. The Moabite leaders will tremble. The people living in Canaan will melt away in panic.
Bakambi ya Edomi bakomi na somo, bankumu ya Moabi bakomi kolenga, bato ya Kanana balembi nzoto.
16 Terror and fright will fall on them. Lord, because of your great power, they will be as still as stone until your people pass by, until the people you bought pass by.
Kobanga mpe somo ekweyeli bango. Na nguya ya loboko na Yo, bakomi bababa lokola libanga kino bato na Yo, oh Yawe, balekaki, kino bato oyo osikolaki balekaki.
17 You will take your people and plant them on the mountain that you own, the place that you, Lord, have prepared as your home, the sanctuary that your hands have built, Lord.
Okomema bango mpe okovandisa bango na ngomba na Yo, esika oyo obongisaki, oh Nkolo, mpo na kovanda, Esika ya bule, oh Yawe, esika oyo maboko na Yo esalaki.
18 The Lord will reign forever and ever!”
Yawe akotikala mokonzi libela na libela!
19 When Pharaoh's horses, chariots, and horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought the water rushing back over them. But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.
Tango bampunda ya Faraon, bashar na ye elongo na bato oyo batambolisaka yango bamikotisaki kati na ebale monene, Yawe azongisaki mayi ya ebale monene likolo na bango. Nzokande bana ya Isalaele bakatisaki ebale monene lokola na esobe.
20 Miriam the prophet, Aaron's sister, picked up a tambourine, and all the women followed her dancing and playing tambourines.
Miriami, mwasi mosakoli mpe ndeko mwasi ya Aron, azwaki mbunda moke na loboko na ye mpe basi nyonso balandaki ye; bazalaki kobeta bambunda mike mpe kobina.
21 Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the Lord, for he is supreme! He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.”
Miriami ayembaki elongo na bango: « Boyembela Yawe, pamba te amonisi monene ya nkembo na Ye; azindisi na ebale monene, mpunda mpe motambolisi na yango. »
22 Then Moses led Israel away from the Red Sea and into the Desert of Shur. For three days they walked in the desert but couldn't find any water.
Moyize atambolisaki bana ya Isalaele wuta na ebale monene ya barozo mpe amemaki bango na nzela oyo ekenda na esobe ya Shuri. Batambolaki mikolo misato kati na esobe mpe bamonaki mayi te.
23 When they arrived at Marah, the water there was too bitter to drink. (That's why the place is called Marah.)
Tango bakomaki na Mara epai wapi bamonaki mayi, bakokaki te komela mayi yango, pamba te ezalaki bololo. Yango wana babengaki esika yango Mara.
24 So the people complained to Moses, asking, “What are we going to drink?”
Boye bato bayimaki-yimaki na tina na Moyize mpe balobaki: « Tokomela nini? »
25 Moses called out to the Lord for help, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. When he threw it into the water, it became sweet. There the Lord gave them rules and instructions and also tested their loyalty to him.
Boye Moyize abelelaki Yawe, mpe Yawe alakisaki ye eteni ya nzete. Moyize abwakaki yango na mayi, mpe mayi ekomaki elengi mpo na komela. Ezalaki kuna nde Yawe apesaki bango bikateli, mibeko mpe amekaki bango.
26 He told them, “If you pay attention to what the Lord your God says, do what is right in his sight, obey his commands, and keep all his regulations, then I will not make you suffer from any of the diseases I gave the Egyptians because I am the Lord who heals you.”
Alobaki: « Soki boyoki na bokebi mongongo na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe bosali oyo ezali sembo na miso na Ye, soki bosali keba na malako na Ye mpe bobateli bikateli na Ye nyonso, nakotindela bino ata bokono moko te oyo natindelaki bato ya Ejipito; pamba te nazali Yawe oyo abikisaka bino na bokono. »
27 Then they traveled on to Elim, which had twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. They set up camp there beside the water.
Bongo bana ya Isalaele bakomaki na Elimi epai wapi bitima zomi na mibale mpe banzete ya mbila tuku sambo ezalaki. Ezalaki kuna nde batongaki molako na bango, pene ya mayi.
